Abstract
There are likely to be ethical risks if quantum computers are used more frequently and transition from research to commercial applications. These obstacles can be divided into those that undermine current safeguards, amplify current issues, and produce completely new classes of dangers. Instead of serving as a comprehensive list of all dangers, the following topics are designed to be viewed as illustrative of the different types of risks we could encounter.
Keywords: Cybersecurity, encryption protocols, quantum computers, quantum ethics, Risk management, internet traffic optimization
20.1 Introduction
Computer science’s application of quantum theory is known as quantum computing [1]. The behaviour of energy and matter at the atomic and subatomic levels is explained by quantum theory. Subatomic particles, such as electrons or photons, are used in quantum computing. ...
